Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Déborah François typed so fast on set that they had to slow the film down to make it believable. Her fingers literally outran cinema.
The real 1950s speed-typing competitions were wild—women competed nationally, and this film resurrected that forgotten feminist sports history.
